How to Reset the Oil Life on a GMC Sierra Denali 2500HD/3500HD
Steps from the 2022 GMC Sierra Denali 2500HD/3500HD owner's manual.
- Display the oil life percentage on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
- Press and hold the thumbwheel on the steering wheel for several seconds.
- If the vehicle has no DIC controls, press and hold the trip odometer reset stem instead.
- When the confirmation message appears, select YES.
- Check that the oil life now reads 100%.
- Reset only right after an oil change; the display will not reset itself.

- If CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON returns at startup or oil life is near 0%, the reset failed; repeat it.
